The evaluation of polymers performance as fluid diversion gelling agents in matrix acidizing

This paper discusses the use of diversion mechanism in matrix acidizing to increase the flow resistance in highly permeable regions due to the presence of polymer temporary plugs. In this study, three polymers, namely hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl guar (HPG), and xanthan gum were evalu...
